SAN DIEGO – A Chula Vista man says he was knocked unconscious because of the NFL (http://www.fox5sandiego.com/topic/sports/football/national-football-league-ORSPT000007.topic) jersey he was wearing outside Qualcomm Stadium (http://www.fox5sandiego.com/topic/sports/football/qualcomm-stadium-PLREC000202.topic) right before Monday Night Football between the Chargers (http://www.fox5sandiego.com/topic/sports/football/san-diego-chargers-ORSPT000056.topic) and Broncos (http://www.fox5sandiego.com/topic/sports/football/denver-broncos-ORSPT000040.topic).

“Someone spilled their beer on me, and the next thing I noticed I woke up in a hospital the next day,” said Eric, a 22-year-old Broncos fan who didn’t want to give his last name.

Eric said Chargers fans began harassing him because he was wearing his Broncos jersey just before the start of the game. Within seconds someone hit him on the back of his head, and he fell to the ground and hit his head. He spent two days in the hospital. Wednesday, he returned home to begin the healing process.

“I was bleeding from my head. My body is in pain. I’m taking medication every day, and I’ve lost my sense of smell.”

So far, no arrest has been made and police have no leads. Police are asking witnesses to come forward and hope that someone may have captured the incident on cell phone video.

Eric said that although he was seriously injured, the attack will not keep him from returning to Qualcomm Stadium to watch football games in the future.

all denver fans can go die in a forest of burning aids trees. he got what he deserved wearing that ugly ass jersey

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that if you took the jersey off, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a Charger fan and a Raider fan. To a degree, he's right.

I can see that, I guess. I've been to some road games, but I have my head on a swivel and stay low-key. I've worn a visiting jersey, though, and had it visible. I've taken a little razzing, but nothing at all threatening.

You'd have to be pretty moronic to start a fight at a football game, but in a crowd of 70,000 (or 25,000 in San Diego), I guess there'll be some morons.

For instance I have seen the absolute dregs of society proudly sporting their Raider gear here in NorCal. From what I have seen there are many Raider "fans" that are pussies who only wear the black because they think it makes them look tough.

As a Chiefs fan in SD I have been to 10+ games here. The fans here are the worst! After a big fight a few years ago I stopped going to games. From the second I get out of the car it is constant harassment. And I am 6-3 220+ so I normally don't get messed with at all. Once I had a little kid cursing me in front of his dad. Went to the game last year after a 3-year hiatus and was expecting the worst but it wasn't that bad last year. Was with a big group of Chargers fans though. Been to KC games in Dallas, Houston, NY, Arizona and Denver and nothing was close to what I normally experience here in SD.

Went to Denver a couple years ago for a game (the 35-0 halftime Haley finger-wagging game) and was expecting the worst but not one person said a thing during two hours of tailgating and the first half of the game. When they did start up it wasn't that bad...

Of course he should be able to wear his jersey and the guys that did the assaulting are "wrong". He however put himself in a high risk situation when doing what he did. I should be able to walk down the street of a "hood" in the dark of night as well, but I sure as hell won't be doing it.

I remember a couple of buddies and myself going to the Chiefs-Bears when Priest set the record. One of my friends was a Bears fan. Even though we beat them handily and two of us had a Chiefs jersey on, a pickup full of jackasses jumped out trying to pick a fight with the guy in the Bears jersey. About 6 of them and 3 of us and I'm not a fighter by any means. It just happened that a group of 4 saw what was going on and came over and helped talk them down or it could have been similar.

As a Chiefs fan in SD I have been to 10+ games here. The fans here are the worst! After a big fight a few years ago I stopped going to games. From the second I get out of the car it is constant harassment. And I am 6-3 220+ so I normally don't get messed with at all. Once I had a little kid cursing me in front of his dad. Went to the game last year after a 3-year hiatus and was expecting the worst but it wasn't that bad last year. Was with a big group of Chargers fans though. Been to KC games in Dallas, Houston, NY, Arizona and Denver and nothing was close to what I normally experience here in SD.

Went to Denver a couple years ago for a game (the 35-0 halftime Haley finger-wagging game) and was expecting the worst but not one person said a thing during two hours of tailgating and the first half of the game. When they did start up it wasn't that bad...

Hometeam fans are a lot less violent when the visiting team loses by 5 touchdowns.
